Hill Close was pasture land on the western side of Warwick, which from 1845 was divided into garden plots, which were rented by Warwick tradesmen. Freeholds of plots were later sold to tenants. Gardeners cultivated fruit and vegetables, kept pigs and poultry and built summerhouses for storage and relaxation. Parts of the site were sold for housing in the early 20th century, but sixteen plots and ten summerhouses have survived, plus two more neighbouring plots that are not managed by Hill Close Gardens. https://hillclosegardens.com/place/the-story-of-hill-close-gardens/
